According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, the league has begun looking into the viral allegations that Giddey might have had an inappropriate relationship with a minor, citing league spokesman Mike Bass.

Photo and video footage of Giddey and a girl were posted online on Thursday, alleging that the woman in question was underage at the time when Giddey was over 18. The player is seen calling her 'his girl', while one of the photos from her Snapchat profile has a caption of the two having sexual relations together.

It sparked a huge controversy online, with people doing their own digging and searching for additional information. The woman's age or identity hasn't been confirmed.

"I understand the question, obviously, but there's no further comment right now," Giddey said about the matter during team practice on Friday.

The Thunder haven't released official communication on the matter.
